    Controlling mother

    The only way a mom could say "you're a horrible pson for wanting to move away" is if you were her caretaker or something, and even then it's pushing it. If your mom is willing to say that to you and is perfectly serious, then yes she does need counseling. Go to your pastor and ask for advice...

    Is There Such A Thing As "Non-Denominational"

    ND churches tend towards the Pentecostal side of things, but as stated by ViaCrucis, it really only means that it's not affiliated with any significant pre-established denomination. Look closely at their statements of belief and/or practices and I'm sure you'll find some small differences (or...

    What is God's religion?

    I thought you were asking what religion God practices, and I was all "bwuh?"

    Do Roman Catholics Reject Salvation By Christ Alone?

    I don't think you're arguing in very good faith here...you open with a question that many Catholics see as a tired Protestant anti-Catholic conversion attempt, and sometimes an outright attack, then promptly use Scripture to say why no one else should provoke or be mean. I don't have to use...

    [Introduction] Back after a long hiatus

    Hi I'm willard3. You may remember me as willard3. :P I joined back in 2005, had a small stint as a mod from 2006-2007 after which I fell through the cracks when the site revamped, didn't post too much for a while, came back in 2008, left again, came back in early 2010, left again, and now I'm...

    Now Playing

    And multiple systems. The two numbered ones are PS2, the one in the middle of those (Chain of Memories) was GBA but they made an officially port to PS2. I have no idea how many spinoffs after that and which systems. I am currently playing Mass Effect 3 (finishing my first character I made 4...

    What do you use an IPad for?

    Fair enough. Different strokes and all. Always good to hear a non-Apple user give reasons other than thinly veiled "I HAET APLPE RAWRRRR" screeds. :P

    Worthless, Needy, Desperate Men?

    I'm certainly allowed to feel hurt etc. after getting rejected. How badly I feel depends on how well I know the person...if we're already good friends and I feel there is something there, I will be very disappointed and confused if I get rejected. If I barely know the person, we might be able to...

    My problem

    It honestly depends on your standards and how often/actively you pursue. This comes from somebody who has relatively high standards and has never gotten accepted on a legitimate date before (though I had a girlfriend once...weird). So take everything I say with a grain of salt. Is your...

    Guy who can't drive

    I can get around fine without a car...it just takes somewhat longer. (an hour and a half to school, as opposed to 20-25 minutes by car.) It really isn't that big of an issue; I just have to depend on people more often.

    Guy who can't drive

    I'm a guy who does not have a driver's license. I just never liked driving. I always took the school bus through high school, I live near two major bus lines that get me where I need to go, I like walking, and I like riding my bike. Plus I can study or get things done on the bus since I'm not...

    Classical Guitar?

    I'll be honest...guitar is my least favorite instrument, mostly because there's so many people who can strum a few basic chords and get huge amounts of attention, when I've been playing piano for 18 years, can pound out a huge Romantic sonata, and everyone goes "meh." (Yeah, this applies to the...

    Music Memories

    Bohemian Rhapsody and Livin' On A Prayer remind me of a road trip with some of my best friends ever. Also, the Requiem by John Rutter gets to me sometimes, because it was the last piece I performed as an undergrad.

    do you feel pressure from family members to not care about religious compatibility?

    If anything, my parents are the exact opposite. When I was Catholic and started dating a non-Catholic, they immediately asked if she would be willing to convert, and sent me a couple books on why Catholicism is the best and that you should only marry Catholics. That did not go over well.

    Name some things God blessed you with

    The two wonderful friends in my signature. Musical ability, specifically sightreading. Parents who impressed on me to save money, which is now helping me out in tough times. A job where nearly everyone likes me, including the boss, which means unless I royally screw up or quit, I have a...
